Reviews of Dha Urlar 4 stars

Beautiful house, comfortable beds, huge cooked breakfast, very friendly hosts

Modern well looked after. Staff/ owners were excellent warm and welcoming. Very helpful people and a great breakfast in the morning.

Single track road to property which is less than a mile outside Bowmore. So not advisable to walk at night time. I had my car so wasn’t an issue for me. The owner is a Taxi driver as well so that would help people without transportation.

Fabulous service and comfortable accommodation from Jim and Caroline. Great breakfasts!

It is a decent walk to BowMore but if you want tranquility and views this is the place

Very friendly host! Mr Jim taxi driver and his wife. The house have a excellent view ..both mountain and sea! Especially in sunset!

Nothing.

Great breakfast. Very clean. Jimmy & Caroline great hosts.

Comfortable, bright accommodation with good sitting areas both indoors & outdoors. Friendly, welcoming and helpful owners. Excellent breakfast.

Hosts were really fantastic. Helpful friendly. Good breakfast nice views and close to town for restaurants etc.

No TV in the room and shower small and difficult to control water.Excellent hosts

Great hosts made to feel very welcome

We had the use of a house where the kitchen and sitting rooms were shared among three guest room. The rooms are generously sized with en site bath rooms. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming

There is 30 minute hike from Bowmore, Nice in good weather but ask the hosts for options otherwise

We were here for work and had to leave very early, Jim came over early and cooked our breakfast without hesitation which was very thoughtful and set us up for the day. The food was cooked to order, done well and with quality, fresh produce.

We only had 2 nights here and then had to move on to different accommodation.

The hosts, Jim and Caroline, are wonderful and have a lovely b&b going on. Super comfortable, clean, quiet with amazing views. Oh, and the potato scones for breakfast are to kill for!

Nothing I can think of.

Both Caroline and Jim were extremely friendly and accommodating. Had a great time with Jim's jokes and Caroline's stories. They cooked up a delicious breakfast for us at the time we requested each morning. Jim's taxi service was very convenient for getting around however we also enjoyed the refreshing 20min walk from Bowmore and the country scenery including the baby Lapwings in the backyard.

Absolutely perfect location if you’re looking to get out into the countryside. A beautiful 20 min walk from Downtown Bowmore through absolutely lovely farmland. The owners are the best people! You will love hearing Jim talk about anything and everything! He knows everyone, everywhere and runes his own discounted taxi for residents.

There’s nothing not to like

Room was spotless and spacious Great location and Jim& Caroline were fantastic hosts.. friendly and helpful, very knowledgeable about the island. Excellent 👌

My stay at Dha Urlar was unforgettable, thanks in large part to the host’s “Jim” incredible hospitality and attention to detail. He went above and beyond by arranging his own trusted taxi to take us around Islay Island to explore the famous distilleries, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The apartment itself was cozy, spotlessly clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a range of options to start the day off right.

Jim is a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of the island. Beautiful house on a beautiful island.

The bed and breakfast was clean and located in a pretty setting.

Beautiful location and base for exploring the island. Close enough to Bowmore to pop into town for a meal. Can walk it but a bit tough in the dark, so recommend a car (not sure you can easily navigate the island without one). That said, Jim does provide a taxi and whiskey tour service, which we didn't use since we had a car but I am sure it would have been a hoot - Jim is a proud islander who is happy to share his love of the island with guests. He and his wife, Caroline, were very welcoming and cook up a mean breakfast. We felt right at home and the bed was sooooo comfy. Thank you :)

Fantastic stay at Dha Urlar. Caroline and Jim put us at ease and introduced us to the other guests staying at the house. our room was lovely and clean. Had everything we needed for a very comfy stay. Lovely to have a communal area to relax in after a hard days island exploring. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and Jim knows all the best place to visit. we will be back next year!!

N/A

Lovely huge room with views, a tasty breakfast cooked right before our eyes, and very amiable hosts. The surrounding area was also very convenient for visiting the island. We had a very pleasant stay at Dha Urlar.

Compared to other places where we have stayed this time and in the past, we thought the price was a bit steep. That said, we did love the fact that our room was in a separate house, so in the end, it was worth it just for a couple of nights.
